I am going to upgrade my girlfriend's desktop. I will replace the motherboard(which is burnt), the CPU and the RAM.
I have decided to use the Intel Pentium G3220 CPU, the MSI H81M-E33 motherboard and the Kindston HyperX blu RAM.
The thing is I don't know which speed to chose: 1333MHz or 1600MHz. A guy told me that this cpu doesn't support 1600MHz speed, but I think that this has to do with the motherboard.
Is it possible that this cpu cannot work with 1600MHz?
Best Answer
Yes, that CPU can work with a memory module rated at 1600 MHz.
Always go for the least expensive and lower-rated modules, as you'll only see very minimal improvements when you go otherwise (unless you run specialty apps that require serious hardware).
